Melissa Kenison, Multimedia Producer

Melissa Kenison, or Melly K - as the Sports Department likes to call her - is a News Intern turned Backpack Journalist.

Melissa's love for storytelling began at the University of Southern Maine where she double majored in Media Studies & Communication. There she was inspired to film a documentary about a mother's grief over sender her son -- a machine-gunner in the Marine Corps -- to fight in the war in Afghanistan. Melissa won Best Writing for A Mother's War at the Maine College Film Festival in 2010.

Within a few days of graduating college, Melissa was hired as the Local Media Coordinator for HighSchoolSports.Net in the Sports Department. Few months went by before Melissa was hired to film, write, and edit her own stories for NEWS CENTER.
